Author: Alan R. Young

eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and represented in the available visual media. The
more than 2,000 visual images of Hamlet that the author has identified both reflected the
critical reception of the play and simultaneously influenced the history of the ever-changing
constructed cultural phenomenon that we refer to as Shakespeare.Full DescriptionOrder Book

The Hamlets: Cues, Qs, and Remembered Texts
Author: Paul Menzer
While differences among the three early printed texts of Hamlet have often been considered in terms of interpretive conequences in performances, The Hamlets instead considers practical issues in the playhouse and acting economy of early modern London. This book examines how Shakespeare's company operated, how it may have treated the authorial text, what the actors' needs might be, and how the three texts may be manifestations of the play's life in the theater.Full DescriptionOrder Book

Heroic Mode and Political Crisis, 1660-1745
Author: Elaine McGirr
This book explores a cultural language, the heroic, that remained consistently powerful through the social, political, and dynastic turbulence of the long eighteenth century. An analysis of this cultural language and its different valence over time not only unpacks the overlap between aesthetic and political debate in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, but also firmly grounds the eighteenth-century's revolution in taste and manners in the ongoing ideological debates about dynastic politics and the foundations of authority.Full DescriptionOrder Book

Hey Presto! Swift and the Quacks
Author: Hugh Ormsby-Lennon
In this book the author reveals how medicine shows, both ancient and modern, galvanized Jonathan Swift’s imagination and inspired his wittiest satiric voices. Swift dubbed these multifaceted traveling entertainments his Stage-itinerant or "Mountebank's Stage." In the course of arguing that the stage-itinerant formed an irresistible model for A Tale of a Tub, Ormsby-Lennon also surmises that the mountebank's stage will disclose that missing link, long sought, which connects the twin objects of Swift's ire: gross corruptions in both religion and learning.Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2012Full DescriptionOrder Book
